Description:

In this mini-lesson we learn (with the help of several examples) how to multiply and divide two exponential terms with the same base. The key to approaching the multiplication and division of two exponential terms is to remember the rules.
For multiplication, you should follow the rule am an = am + n. For example, 34 × 32 = 34 + 2 = 36.
On the other hand, when two numbers with the same base are divided, follow the rule am/an = am - n. For example, 34/ 32 = 34 - 2 = 32.
In the situation of "power of a power", the rule is (am)n = am×n. For example, (34)2 = 34×2 = 38.
